TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. The following resolutions were unan imously adopted by the First Baptist Church, Laurens, 8. C, upon the death of Brother W. Scott Knight, who died March 15, ioo4: Whereas, the Great and Supreme Ituler of the Unlveree has in His Infi nite wisdom summoned from among us one of our most worthy and esteemed members, Brother W. Scott Knight, and, whorcas.the long and intimate rela tions held with him in the faithful dis charge of his duties as a member, dea con and Sunday School teaoher of this Church, we think it eminently fitting tb.it wo record our apprec'ation of him. Therefore, Belt Resolved? First: That tho wisdom and ability which ho has exercised in the aid of our Church by his counsel, cervices and contribution for tbe different ob jocts bo held in grateful remembrance. Second: That, the sudden removal of such a life from our midst leavos a va cancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members of this Church and scholars of his Sur day School clase, and will provo a serious loss to the commuuity and pub ic. Third: That with deep pympathy with the boreavod wife and relatives of tho deceased, we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be overruled for the glory of Him who dooth all things well. Fourth: That a copy of these resolu tions bo spread upon the records of this Church, also a copy be printed in The Baptist Courier and Laurens county papers and that a copy be for warded to the bereaved wife and rela tives.

Miss Agnes Mullen ofChicn.no, young und pretty, is the only woman adver tising manager for a railway in tho world. .Miss Mullen knows how to advertise. Sbo knows exactly what pleases her when she reads an adver tisement, and she thinks other people will like the same things. She adopted that system when she became the only woman otllcial of a big American rail way, the Mondll route. Miss Mullen says little. She Isn't n talking woman. She is mnnngor of the advertising de partment; ti nt's all. "Women with the postscript habit can't succeed In business, especially this business," says Miss Mullen. "I never wrote a postscript to a letter in MISS ACNES M I I. I. I N. my life. I say what I have to say ami let it go at that. That applies to ad vertising. Cut out the postscripts. Let tho printer do the rest. Then place the ads. right, and advertising pays?pays big." Miss Mullen was born In Topekn, Kan., nlthough she has lived In Chi cago most of her life. She is petite nnd fair. In appearance she does not resemble an advertising expert, who can tell you just what returns she will get from the placing of nn ad. In New Jersey or Michigan or the circulation of a score of papers. Hut she has a sturdy, businesslike way about her that makes one feel more respect for tho business woman. Miss Mullen's office is in the general Ofllce building of the Monon route In Custom House place. She roaches her desk early In the morning and dis patches her rapidly accumulating work with neatness and precision. Miss Mullen lives with her parents. She has three sisters and two brothers. Her father is a rotired railroad man.? Chicago American. lleponc of .Ummer. Repose of manner, that quality for which all Englishwomen and some of our southern beauties are famous, is one of tho hardest things in the world to acquire. It means simply the power of relaxing. First or all, you must relax; second, you must keep relaxed, and all the other rules are expressed in the same word, "relax." Doctors who have studied their fem inine patients well will tell you that much of your nervous force escapes through your linger tips while you fid get with your chain or your purse. You lose still more when you cough and Jerk your body about unneces sarily. One beauty specialist goes so far as to declare that nothing will make wrin kles quicker than the habit of moving und jerking and that nothing is so fa tal to beauty as coughing and wheez ing. AU such habits are really nervous complaints. To cure all these lldgcty movements cultivate the habit of sit ting perfectly still, keeping tho hands nnd lingers motionless as long us pos sible, and relax. Your reward will be the air of tllstin guished repose so sought after by our nervous society women. A Kitchen Tlmo Tnble. "A kitchen time table," consisting of n large piece of cardboard, divided into two columns, on which are written the names of various kinds of foods and the time required for cooking or bak ing them, should be hung In every kitchen. Suppose, for Instance, that the first item is "Sponge cake, thirty minutes." Then the cook will know that the loaf must be left in tho oven exactly half an hour. Not once will she have to disturb It, nnd not once will time have to bo spent In looking at it to sec If it is done. And so, too, with other things. The required tlmo can be learned from ex perience and then noted down for fu ture reference. It proves to be a valuable aid, guard ing against burned food nnd saving both time nnd labor. Tho real value of this little device to the housewife Is duo to tho fnct that It contains her actual experience. Her cookbook may tell her the time that Is required gen erally for any specific article; a friend or neighbor may tell her What tlmo is required for baking in her specific home with her stove. But in neither of these Instances are all of tho con ditions the same. The Mother Who I.mnrhn. There are mnny conscientious fathers nnd mothers who mako themselves and their children mlserahlo by taking youthful foibles too seriously. It Is an Innate propensity of a child possessed of average good health nnd spirits to make older people laugh with him; not nt him, nt the things that seem amus ing to his own sense. And the mother who has the blithe and ready humor to enter Into his fun becomes his most fascinating companion. Ho heeds her rebukes nnd bends to her correction without ill feeling where sternness would arouse his pride and Ire, for ho is nssured that she is ready to share all his innocent pranks nnd that her disap proval has no foundation in impatlonco or Injustice. And when the day ar rives that "childish things uro put away" and the grown men and women look backward to their early home, with what n throb of plensuru they say, when things happen: "Mother would npproolnte this. Sho had the quickest sense of humor of any wom no you ever saw!" And underneath these light words Is the thought,, "How happy that dear mother mado me, and how I love her!" \ - About Yonr Neck. ? famous artist has snld, "Of nil tho beautiful objects tin nature none sur passes tho well molded nock of wo man." The length of tho perfect neel Shotdd be one half tho height Of t head, from the level of the chin to summit, and at its narrowest part Bhoilld liave twlco tho clrcunifereiico of the wrist. Ago Is first shown in the form of the neck and care to retain Its perfect contour should therefore bo an important duty. Exercise of tho mus cles of the neck by bending the bend in all directions at regular Intervals dur ing tho day will assist and will tend to prevent deposits of fat at tho base, a common disfigurement. Fullness of the neck, in the case of children, should at once bo brought to tho attention of the family physician. Odd* and Ends of Hoap. M<>..1 good housekeepers have on baud a soup shaker in which to stow away the bits of soap that soon become too small for handling and aro likely to get lost. Itut the fragments of tho scouring stones and bricks aro an ever vexing domestic problem. A good and economical way of disposing of them is to place them between two strong pieces of brown paper and crush them With a rolling pin till perfectly pulver ized. The powder can then be put Into a tin can or box and used with a damp cloth for scouring tins, agateware, brasses, etc. Odds and ends of a doz en kinds may be mixed together with impunity!

There are two or three kinds of draw ing rooms that literally set tho teeth on edge and cause tho souls of urMstlc people to shudder within thorn. ..10 is tho room where everything Is in pah s.

Vaseline, as most housekeepers know by experience, leaves ugly spots that are not removed by ordinary launder ing. A professional cleaner says Bonk ing the stains in kerosene will usual ly remove them. Old paint and varnish may bo re moved by two parts of ammonia shak en up with one part of turpentine. It Will soften them so they may easily be scraped off. * Mix plaster of paiis with vinegar In stead ef water and you will find It ex cellent to stop the cracks in the wall.
